Our site, www.volunteergear.com (the "Site") is owned and operated by Volunteer Gear, Inc. We appreciate, and take very seriously, the trust that our customers put into our company. This Privacy Policy is intended to identify the personal information we gather from visitors and how we use it. Personal information is information that is personally identifiable, like a name, address, e-mail address, phone number or credit card information.

What we gather:

Our Web server automatically collects information about the web page that each visitor accessed immediately prior to visiting our Site (where possible). We automatically gather the domain name of the web page that was last visited, but not the e-mail address of the visitor.

We also collect information provided by our visitors, such as the names and e-mail addresses of those who communicate with us via e-mail or through our online contact form, as well as information submitted through online ordering, tag registration, tag tracking, blogging and comments.

Cookies are small text files placed on a hard drive by a server. We use cookies to record session information, such as items that consumers add to their shopping cart. We do not use this information to gather any marketing information.

How we use personal information:

We use the information collected about the web page that each visitor accessed before visiting our Site to help us identify sources of web traffic to our Site.

We use the information that visitors provide us to improve the content of our Site and to inform consumers of new products and services. We do not share that information with third parties for commercial purposes.

We may also use the information we collect to investigate, prevent or take action against suspected illegal activities. We may use the information for legal proceedings, such as responding to subpoenas, court orders, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims. In the event that our company or its assets are acquired by or merged with a third party, the information collected by our Site may be one of the assets transferred.

Security Measures:

Our web hosting company uses industry-standard encryption technologies when transferring and receiving consumer information exchanged with our Site. Our web hosting company has security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of information that we have collected from you at our Site. Although we believe that our web hosting company provides appropriate security measures, we are not responsible for the practices, actions or inactions of that company.

The content you post, store or transmit on or through the website including tag comments and images may be accessed by other users including people you do not know. We are not responsible for the actions of others. Please use care when you are posting and communicating with others.

Our Policy regarding Children:

Our Site is directed to persons 13 and older. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or her child has provided personally identifiable information without their consent, please contact us immediately at privacy@volunteergear.com. We do not intend to collect personally identifiable information from persons under 13 years of age. If we become aware that a person under the age of 13 has transmitted personal information without parental or custodial consent, we will delete that information from our files.

Third Party Web Sites:

Our Site may provide links to web sites that are owned or controlled by other companies, and such web sites may provide a link to our Site. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those sites or any other third party web sites, nor are we responsible for the actions or inactions of those sites. You should contact the owner of any third party web site that you access from our Site or independent of our Site to determine the privacy practices that govern that site.
